Uh, not going to do that. If it comes to changing components I'll just put spacers under the cylinders to lower the compression and use straight 93. For the past 30 years I've used 100LL from the local airport and make a 33/66 mix with 93 octane pump gas. It works fine, since I seldom travel more than a tank away from home. The only problem is the management at the FBO changes a lot and I always have to talk the new one into selling me gas in a can.
Hmmm, I wonder how E85 affects the cork seal in the reserve tank selector.
